We collect information about you using “cookies” and similar technologies, such as “tracking pixels”. Cookies are small text files placed on your computer by Websites you visit. Tracking pixels are small blocks of code on a webpage or app used to track your usage information. On 25 May 2011, Directive 2009/136/EC, (the "Cookies Directive"), which amends Directive 2002/58/EC, came into force in the European Union (EU). Among other things, this Directive states that "the storing of information or the gaining of access to information already stored, in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned has given his or her consent, having been provided with clear and comprehensive information". This document contains a description of the cookies and similar technologies used on the OpenText Website.

Our Website is evolving as we continue to take steps to implement the relevant measures set out in the Cookies Directive.
